How will I know my timesheet has been processed?

Within a few minutes of your timesheet being processed you will receive an automated text message to confirm the amount and date the payment will reach your account.

I haven't received a text from payroll; does this mean my timesheet hasn't been added?

No, not necessarily. If you haven't received a text by 4:30pm on the day you submitted your timesheet contact our payroll department on 01992 474970 and they'll be able to provide you with an update.

Rates vary between authorities or trusts and depending on your post and relevant experience. As we do not work through master vendors, Frontline has more flexibility to negotiate rates based on your individual needs and experience often resulting in higher take home pay.

How long is a contract?

Most initial contracts are for 3 months. If budgets allow and both the candidate and client are happy with the working relationship it's likely that the contract will roll on, however it's not guaranteed.
